<p>1. Make it so that the lace goes across the foot's instep rather than near the ankle. That would allow a secure fit without interfering with ankle movement.</p>
<p>2. Add a rubber sole, preferably one that matches a tracing of the future owner's foot. This is mainly to reduce the possibility of water being absorbed by the leather.</p>
<p>3. Brown wool, so that people don't immediately notice that you're wearing slippers as shoes.</p>I'd like a shoe like this but with the following changes:

same design- just replace the WOOL with<br />
some MESH material and you have a cheap,<br />
and to-the-point shoe.<br />
sole material should be replaced for <br />
trail and outdoor use.<br />
so simple.<br />
bring me a sole, mesh and some nylon wire<br />
for keeping it all together and we're fine.</p>the perfect minimalist shoe:

I used to wear Vans flip flops around the house, more as a house shoe than a slipper. I have never actually worn slippers in the house since I was a child. I used to have the same knit slippers from my grandma as what Robert mentioned, so I know exactly what he is talking about. These definitely brought those back to mind. The leather sole is a nice touch that the handmade grandma slippers never had. I am betting that is a lot more comfortable than the crocheted bottoms I had as a child, better traction too I would imagine.</p>The ones with the tie are kind of cool.

They are nothing short of awesome. Exceptionally comfortable, warm, cozy, and kinda cool looking in their own right.</p>
<p>Though they are slippers, just like the Soft Star Roos, you could certainly wear them around town if you're not a foot dragger. But for a slipper, I'm not sure the Crofters can be beat. They are simply fantastic.</p>I was fortunate enough to receive a pair of these as a gift (thanks Robert!) having never heard of them before. They are nothing short of awesome.
